        </tr>
    </table>
    <br>
 
    <button onclick="Geeks()">
        Click Here
    </button>
     
    <p id="GFG"></p>
 
    <script>
        var elm = document.getElementById("GFG");
 
        function Geeks() {
            let tableHead = document.getElementById("thead");
            tableHead.style.display = "none";
